I'm sort of a member of the school that "if you don't pray when it's sunny, don't pray when it's raining", but I have noticed an increase in prayer vigils, people going to mass/temple/what have you.
I wasn't really that religious beforehand, and I'm still really not. That doesn't mean that I don't have a system of morals and values centered around a Supreme Being, whom I thank every day for sparing my loved ones and friends.
As cynical as this sounds, I don't expect this to lead to a religious renaissance in this nation. I feel like this is going to be a temporary thing, at best--we all feel bad and violated right now, but once the smoke clears, we'll be back to our old ways.
